Default leather suit fitting

so i tried on a 1 peice suit for the first time today. i have a problem though. i think i have small arms lol

i am about 5 9 and 190-195 pounds, fat. lol

i tried on a frank thomas in 46 and the legs and torso seamed to fit snug but the arms were quiet large. very baggy elbow in wrong place. i am thinking with gloves on and on the bike the armor would be in the right place but it would still be baggy. cant this catch and cause you to tumbel?

i tried on the 44 and the crotch was to small lol, i could get one arm in but i did not put the second in because it felt if i got the second in it was not coming out with out someone helping me. if i put it in i could more than likley zip it but it would be tight. the arm that was in fit much better than the 46.

i also tryed a 44 dainese laguna suit. wow much smaller than a FT. no way i was getting in to that. the legs fit but the torso was not happening.

anyone have any suggestions? could i get the arms tailored? would that be expensive?

are there any suites that are smalle in the arms?

any help would be great thanks

Keep trying, all makers are different in size = arms, waist, legs etc. Tailored is great, but more expensive (usually) but fit is spot on (if you don't eat more or go on a diet). Why a 1 piece? I have leather pants & jacket that zip together, very handy.

Yeah, you're going to have to keep trying different suits and sizes till you get a comfortable one....OR how about losing some weight?! lol

My 1 piece fits almost perfect. It's just a bit long on the arms, but it's great.
